Hyperspectral remote sensing is widely used for analyzing and estimating the severity of soil salinity in arid and semi-arid regions, throughout the world. The present study is an attempt to map the various soil salinity severity classes using different hyperspectral indices generated using EO-1 Hyperion data and Support Vector Machine (SVM) method, in the Mathura region of Indo-Gangetic plain ...

The growing use of bibliometrics among researchers has showcased the emergence of various evaluators of scientific research at the author front as well as journal publishers. Several indices has been put forward since the importance of scientific evaluators has gained prominence. Among any such indices, h-index, g-index etc., has been widely used in literature. The regression analysis presented...

A new notion is introduced of matrix order indices which relate the matrix norm and its trace. These indices can be defined for any given matrix. They are especially important for matrices describing many-body systems, equilibrium as well as nonequilibrium, for which the indices present a quantitative measure of the level of ordering. They characterize not only the long-range order, but also mi...

There are numerous sources of bias in medical care price indices that lead to non-trivial biases in overall price indices such as the GDP deflator and the Consumer Price Index. I begin by reviewing various uses of price indices and therefore why both biases and changes in those biases matter. I describe the theory underlying official price indices. I next turn to problems of measuring medical p...

Nitrogen (N) management remains a global challenge for the sustainability of diversified farming systems. Field crops are often over-supplied with nitrogen by farmers aiming to high productivity. Although increase rates leads in many instances yields, degree effectiveness use low. Urease and nitrification inhibitors technologies which have been present fertilizers market at least 50 years. Inhi...
